    Abstract: A data composing, editing and formatting system for use in business offices by typists and composers of business letters and documents. A cathode-ray tube display is utilized to display keyed data and data inputted by a secondary media reader in a manner analogous to the display of a page of typed data on a typewriter. Once the data is so inputted, additional data can be inserted at a point defined by the operator without any resulting loss of information, word integrity, columnar definition or paragraph designation. Additionally, data can be deleted and the data located down page from the deleted data will shift up page to fill in where the deleted data was located without loss of paragraph designation. Text modification controls further include data centering within defined margins, transfer of data from one page position to another without loss of data or paragraph definition, automatic adjustment of the data to conform to new margin settings and a unique hyphenation operation. Once the data has been inputted and modified, it is transferred to a serial printer and/or a secondary media recorder for permanent recording. Special controls effect the optimum utilization of the serial printer by utilizing margin stop locations of the displayed data as well as tab stop location to define printer tabulation operations.

    Abstract: A data composing, editing, formatting and display system for use by composers of quality printed graphics. A cathode ray tube display is utilized to display inputed data characters in a proportionally spaced representation. The number of words of text which appear on each line of displayed text are optimized in accordance with variable margin settings and the width values of the characters appearing on the line. Additional text may be inserted or deleted at any point in the displayed text without resultant loss of word definition, paragraph definition, word order, or line-margin relationship. Additional lines of text may be created or deleted between paragraphs of words as words are inserted or deleted in one of the paragraphs. The text character representations are stored serially in bulk storage and accessed by a processor having a high speed storage and arithmetic section for display and line-word optimization calculations. A large parallel gating section of the processor and a control storage containing unique factors set the conditions which ''''program'''' the high speed storage and arithmetic section to effect necessary text manipulation between display frames while maintaining a real time response to rapidly initiated operator controlled functions.

    Abstract: Each of a plurality of segments of dictated audio information from a plurality of remote author terminals is switched under system control to one of a plurality of operator transcription stations for transcription of the audio information. System controls further effect the placement of transcribed information in machine readable form in system storage in proper sequence for display at the originating author terminal. System controls are facilitated by the recording of digital identification signals alongside recorded segments of audio information, the digital signals insuring proper system information identification and sequencing. Simple author controls enable selected text recall and display, text form and content modification and text highlighting. Further author controls effect audio text segmentation.

    Abstract: 1,087,748. Accounting apparatus; printers. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. June 7, 1966 [June 30, 1965], No. 25233/66. Headings G4A and G4H. In accounting apparatus, printing means moves relative to a platen in synchronism with movement of a first transducer relative to a storage medium and independently of movement of a second transducer relative to the storage medium. A " golf-ball " printing head in a typewriter can move along the platen as a first transducer moves along a magnetic drum (parallel to its axis), by virtue of a cable connecting them. A keyboard with alphanumeric, numeric and control sections is provided. The circumference of most of the length of the drum is divided into four levels (viz. sectors), each level being divided (sector-wise, not axially) into five pairs of axial lines. Four of the pairs each consist of a format line (for holding variable and constant data to be printed) and a programme line (for controlling the apparatus). Typically, successive lines of a document to be printed have successive lines of a particular level. The fifth pair of lines consists of two so-called position registers for holding accumulated totals. The first transducer, and a second transducer movable independently thereof, can both be moved parallel to the drum axis across whichever level is in position. A four-position level button on the keyboard selects a level by positioning a third transducer axially of the drum to pick up recorded clock pulses, clock pulses being recorded in different axial positions adjacent different levels. A four-position mode button on the keyboard similarly selects one of the first four pairs of lines (the fifth pair being also selected whatever the button setting). Circumferential tracks, each with an associated transducer, provide a bit clock, a one-character register, a two-character register, a sum register, a crossfoot register and an entry register. The first and second transducers are separated circumferentially by one level, but as noted, need not be in corresponding axial positions. When they are, this is indicated. Communication between the various parts of the drum, the printing arrangements, the keyboard (used for all entry), and an arithmetic unit (not described) are possible.
